This light draws 800w +/- 5% but the driver consumes 70w. So, 730w of LED power is what you're actually putting out. That being said, I have never had happier plants. I went from having an extremely hot tent with a 1,200w HPS to having a 5x5x6.5 tent that never cracks 85°, even with the exhaust fan turned to the minimum. The LED puts out less actual ePPF than my HPS but it's much wider spectrum and MUCH more evenly spread out. My entire tent at 12" doesn't get below 823ePPFD at the minimum. The average at 18" is 1,064ePPFD according to my quantum sensor, and 1,321 ePPFD average at 12". However I like to keep it at 18" so that the light spread it more even, and I don't want to burn my plants as I am not using supplemental CO2. Anyways, the driver thing was explained to me in an email from Mars. I got this grow light on sale for $560, so there's no way I could ever get a better deal on a light like this. My only gripe is that I bought it RIGHT before they put out the FC-E1000w which I would have rather purchased. Oh well, this one is still good for my purposes! If I decide to supplement CO2, I'll lower the light. My power use immediately dropped very significantly just from having this light for 2 weeks out of the power billing period. I'm glad, because power rates in my area are about to go from $0.1205/kWh to $0.24175/kWh at the start of January. I can always lower the light and dim it to cut energy consumption if necessary. I give the light a 5/5 in all categories, but like all companies; MarsHydro overstates the performance of their product. At 12" I only get a total of 1,933 ePPF and they advertise 2,100 PPF Which it seems is never the case in any reviews. As long as you're cool with that, this light grows plants like no fixture I have ever used. The 8 100w blurples from Marshydro that I was using 2016-2019 couldn't get anywhere near this performance or efficiency. Also, the efficiency is much lower than claimed by Marshydro. I get 2.416 EPPF/J. 1933/800=2.416. If we go by the output wattage, I get 2.65ePPF/J, which is less than the efficiency of 2.8 PPD/J that they advertise. All in all, I don't regret my purchase, I will save around $2,000 in the next year on my power bill because of it, and my flowers have never grown so densely and happily. Great job Marshydro, just be more realistic in your ads. Update 1/15/2023: This light has saved me $100 on my power bill compared to a 1200W HPS. My usage statement on November 13 was 1145kWh consumed, December was 13th statement was 1209kWh, This month's statement shows 687kWh consumed. The light will pay for itself in 4 more months. Then we're just saving money. Review: Wire short - Great light love it . But wire in bar stand is messed up shuts light off . Can't return it for another since I need it right now . But other then it screwing up my light cycle isnt good Update : desertcart knows nothing about indoor growing cusomer service won't help. Told me to contact manufacturer woooah even worse customer service being put through the gauntlet here and Not desertcart or Marshydro wants to fix this issue when I spent a lot of mon ey now a days and took forever just to save up for this light . Update: desertcart finally fixed the problem after over 70 emails with Marshydro they wanted to send a new dimmer box. And a video on how to wire it. I replied no refund . They asked how can we fix this I said uv bar and the 6800 or refund they offered uv bar. desertcart did full refund thank God . After all said and done I replied back to marhydro saying for 1 month waiting on response and then 2 weeks of time emailing you could at least hook me up with the 80 dollar uv bar that you wanted to give instead of refund keeping 500 of my money. But they won't even do that send a uv bar.

Both are trusted brands—Samsung is a global leader, and BridgeLux is a well-established U.S. manufacturer. **Q: How to install them? Is the installation difficult?** A: Installation is fast and easy with a foldable design that reduces setup time. FC-E1500/FC-E3000feature an integrated all-in-one design, while FC-E4800/FC-E6500/FC-E8000/FC-E1000W use a single-fold design for quick unfolding and installation. **Q: How to achieve intelligent control? What functions does it provide?** A: Intelligent control is available via optional accessories, supporting remote control, scheduling, and sunrise/sunset modes. iConnectu controller offers basic control, iControl supports RJ12 devices, and iHub Pro enables multi-device management. **Q: Can it be installed together with ADlite? And how do I choose the appropriate ADlite model?** A: Yes, ADlite can be installed together. Due to the compact design of FC-E1500 and FC-E3000, ADlite can only be mounted on the outer side. For selection: use ADlite RB30 (short) for fixtures under 500W, and ADlite RB55 (long) for fixtures over 500W. **Q: What should I do if the light malfunctions?** A: Designed for 50,000 hours of peak performance, Mars Hydro stays by your side. With local repair centers and 24-hour support, we ensure your growth never skips a beat.

Consumer service was horrible and slow ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great yield, great customer service! *by M***E on July 12, 2023* *scroll down to see my 2 year update* As you can see from the pictures, this light can grow some plants. I use it chiefly for flower and it excels at that. The connection from the driver to the light fixture started to get hot. The whole light went out (right after I harvested, whew!). I contacted Mars Hydro customer service via email. I was helped by Alice, who always responded promptly. They sent me another connector and a video on how to install it myself. After that, the light worked! Great customer service, Alice, and way to stand behind your product Mars Hydro! 2 year update: In May it will be 3 years of owning this light. It is rock solid in performance and is still like brand new. I keep a fan on the driver to prolong the life. The pic is my updated grow under this light along with 2 mars hydro deep red supplementals. Get this light. You won't regret it. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2025 New MARS HYDRO 800Watt FC-E8000 Foldable LED Grow Light 5x5ft, Full Spectrum Grow Light Bar Commercial Plant Growing Lamp for Vertical Farming - AC Infinity CLOUDRAY S6, Grow Tent Clip Fan 6” with Redesigned Long-Life EC Motor, Custom 10 Dynamic Wind Speeds and 10-Level Oscillation, Weatherproof IP-54, for Hydroponics Circulation Cooling --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/375249127-fc-e8000-800w-5x5-led-grow-light-full-spectrum-veg](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/375249127-fc-e8000-800w-5x5-led-grow-light-full-spectrum-veg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
